I joined the drop a couple minutes after it went live. I was ecstatic about it. A few bits emerged after that, though: shipping is from US and it will take six months. I'm not complaining about the $50 price increase - that's fair. I'm complaining about shipping being from US, which basically kills the deal for people in Europe since we'll have to pay a hefty amount in taxes and import duties (it's 25~30% in Italy!). It's still a good deal, but not one that is easily justifiable when they're sold for less than €350 new, shipped to my door tomorrow.
Sorry guys, the shipping killed the deal for me. Thanks for your hard work anyway!
